Throughout the past 7 years, Gallery5 is proud to have hosted some of the best local music events in Richmond. Gallery5 would not be where it is without the bands that have graced our stage, and we certainly look forward to what’s in store for the future of our region’s music scene.

On Friday, June 29th we are excited celebrate the music of our city at our summer fundraiser, featuring a projected visual display of the hundreds of musical moments that are etched into our 7 year history. Local bands have also been generous enough to donate their CDs, Shirts, Stickers, and more for a door raffle. Have fun designing your own album cover with a silly photobooth. And summer wouldn’t be complete without a caricature artist. Lastly, you can’t have a local music night without live music. We are proud to present to our stage Classic Monkey Shine, The Greenhearts, and Goldrush!
